FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03
Workflow role
Automatic initial organ-at-risk contouring before qualified review and editing.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03
Required input
Adult single-energy DICOM CT images from GE or non-GE scanners.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03
Output and human action
DICOM RT Structure Set contours and labels routed to configured review workstations.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03
Limitations
The software is for adults and initial segmentation only. Users must verify every contour and label; average Dice varies greatly by structure and does not predict local editing burden or dosimetric acceptability by itself.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.

Integration
Server-based automated DICOM CT ingestion and RTSS export to predefined destinations; test scanner protocols, contrast, slice spacing, structure naming, routing, TPS import, and failure quarantine.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03
Deployment and data flow
Server-based software integrated with qualified GE CT and radiotherapy review workflows; exact supported infrastructure and service boundaries require vendor confirmation.

Security and privacy
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03

Public materials reviewed for this batch do not establish the complete security posture for the exact release. Request data-flow, identity, audit, encryption, retention, support-access, vulnerability-management, backup, and incident-response evidence.

Training and support
Only dosimetrists, medical physicists, radiation oncologists, and qualified radiotherapy practitioners. should operate or interpret the system. Local onboarding should cover the exact release, supported population, limitations, failure examples, escalation, downtime, and competency documentation.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03
Monitoring and change control
Monitor by exact hardware, software and model version, patient population, anatomy, protocol, operator, input quality, output edits or overrides, failed studies, repeat acquisition or rework, downstream impact, downtime, incidents, recalls, and updates. Track the limits that matter for this product: The software is for adults and initial segmentation only.

Release and scope verification

Map the installed model, build, options, population, anatomy, inputs, and outputs to K230082 before acceptance.

Later product-family features are not evidence that this cleared release includes them.

Interoperability acceptance

Test representative identifiers, orientation, geometry, measurements, units, routing, failure handling, and round trips locally.

Clinical acceptance

Use a signed local test set for the supported population and workflow. Include common and difficult cases, exclusions, acquisition variation, failed or low-quality inputs, reviewer overrides, and downstream effects. The software is for adults and initial segmentation only. Users must verify every contour and label; average Dice varies greatly by structure and does not predict local editing burden or dosimetric acceptability by itself.

Evidence

Performance evidence

Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version.

Evidence summary
K230082 reports training on 911 CT examinations and independent testing on 302 exams from nine global sources, producing 2,552 expert-referenced contours. Three radiotherapy practitioners established references and separately reviewed clinical adequacy; organ-level Dice results ranged widely, reinforcing the need for structure-specific acceptance.

Postmarket record

Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.

Postmarket safety review
The 2026-09-02 openFDA device-recall snapshot contained no record matched to K230082 by exact submission identifier.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03

A zero-result exact-identifier search does not prove that no recall, correction, adverse-event report, or product-family safety signal exists.

Recovered from the prior exact-submission extraction and normalized under the current provenance rules. Exact FDA materials, current product-family sources, selected clinical literature, reimbursement context, and exact-identifier recall candidates were reviewed. Pricing, contracted services, enabled options, final security architecture, and local interoperability remain organization-specific evidence. Automated exact-name discovery found 20 PubMed and 10 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. Candidates require human product and version matching; zero candidates is not evidence that no studies exist. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.

Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
